Pentagon calls airborne mission killing 13 people among them civilians in town of Atme ‘successful’
US special forces have hunted down high-ranking jihadists in an airborne raid in north-western Syria, killing 13 people in an operation the Pentagon described as “successful”.
The overnight operation was thought to be the biggest of its kind by US forces in the jihadist-controlled Idlib region since the 2019 raid that killed the Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
